Altenew Celebrating Parents Card Drive Blog Hop | Giveaway

I love that Altenew ‘s goal is to send cards for the elderly that lives in nursing homes or shelters to let them know they’re not forgotten. I hope you will check out the Celebrating Parents Card Driveand join this great cause by sending in cards if you have a little spare time or a spare card. Altenew is collecting handmade cards between March 3rd and April 29th, and each donor is eligible to win one of FIVE $30 Altenew gift certificates!

I started making my next card by making a card base out of white cardstock. Then I stamped a floral background using one of my favorite stamp sets. I made a sentiment by die cutting the word LOVE out of white cardstock. I gold heat embossed the upper layer in Altenew Antique Gold Embossing Powder and adhered all layers together. I then stamped “I” and “you” and glued the “love” onto the card base.

It’s been a while since I created my own background using stamps and a marker, and I had so much fun making this simple card. There are so many awesome techniques to create your own backgrounds!

I started by stamping the images on a piece of white cardstock with Memento black ink. I then colored my background with Copic Marker (B05). After my background was done, I gold heat embossed the sentiment in Altenew Antique Gold Embossing Powder onto a white vellum stripe. And then popped it onto the card.

I hope these cards inspired you to create some cards for the Card Drive!

I love (and own!) every one of these stamp sets, and I really like how you have used each one in a different color scheme. Each one is just gorgeous, and will surely brighten up someone’s day so much! Thanks for your wonderful ideas! I’ll be using them to make some cards for the drive!
